UNION, N.J., May 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed Bath &
Beyond Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBY) today announced that it has
strengthened its Same Day Delivery services in the U.S. through a
partnership with DoorDash (NYSE: DASH), making it easier and
more convenient than ever to shop online for products from Bed Bath
& Beyond® and buybuy BABY®. Same Day Delivery service will be
powered through DoorDash Drive – DoorDash's white-label fulfillment
platform that powers direct delivery for any business. The DoorDash
launch arrives right on time to shop essentials, must-haves, and
amazing deals ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.
Through DoorDash Drive, Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY
websites will expand same day delivery to over 3,000 additional zip
codes across the country. With the added coverage same day delivery
is now available in 99% of their store locations and allows
customers the convenience to shop an array of different delivery
options. Customers can utilize the service by going to
bedbathandbeyond.com and buybuybaby.com and selecting the option
for Same Day Delivery at checkout. Once the order is placed, a
Dasher will pick up the items at the local store and deliver them
to the customer's home via contactless delivery. Customers are also
now able to place an order just hours before closing and still
receive it the same day and track packages live.
Rafeh Masood, Executive Vice
President and Chief Digital Officer said, "We are thrilled to
continue strengthening our Same Day Delivery services through this
partnership with DoorDash. What's also exciting about this
partnership is that we are extending order cutoff times from
1 p.m. to up to 6 p.m. local time based on store hours and
customers can receive real-time updates on their order status via
text, giving them real-time visibility to when their order will
arrive to them. We're executing on our strategy to being an
omni-always retailer to provide customers with the convenience of
Buy-Online-Pickup-In-Store, contactless Curbside Pickup, and
multiple Same Day Delivery options through existing partnerships
with Shipt, Instacart and now Door Dash. We will continue to
provide our customers with innovative omnichannel avenues to shop
with us."
Bed Bath & Beyond continues to move ahead in its
transformational journey by helping customers to realize the
potential in every room, introducing new and exciting brands,
tools, and services to inspire customers to "Home, Happier™." The
Same Day Delivery partnership with DoorDash follows a successful
launch in Canada last month, which
was accelerated in response to pandemic-induced lockdowns in
Ontario.
